Hi Steve,
WindowsXP will remember the settings of up to 400 folders, after that it
starts forgetting some. See this from MVP Kelly for a way to increase this
number:

Line 2, increase the folder view size limit to 8000
You can also resolve this with the newest version of TweakUI. Get it here:

After installing, look under explorer/customization, increase the "folders
to remember".
